Is there a good reason why searching for "~else" in both local raco docs and on [docs.racket-lang.org](http://docs.racket-lang.org) does not produce any results? If this is an easy pull request I'll make it.

Rhombus `~else` is a keyword, not a bound identifier like Racket `else`. Indexing it should be a matter of `as_index`, but I think we may want something like `indexed_rhombus` akin to `indexed-racket`. Should we point the index to `cond` or `match`, or to the the guide section on conditionals?

I think either `cond` or `match` would be fine; I think the key piece of information is that it's a keyword, and it's used to indicate an exceptional final clause.
